Ridiculous Nail Polish Haul

Hey everyone! I wanted to make a blog post with swatches to accompany my latest YouTube video. If you haven't seen it yet, click the link above to go to my channel.

Anyway, over the past few months I have accumulated an absurd number of new nail polishes, hence the last video. Because it was going to take too much time to show swatches in the video, I thought I would take photos and make a blog post to go along with it. All of the photos are taken in natural light, so the colors should be fairly accurate. All are 2 to 3 coats. So let the swatchapalooza begin!

From left to right: Revlon polishes in Sunshine Sparkle, Cotton Candy, Not So Blueberry, Mad About Mango, and Gum Drop.
